I do think that barcode scanners send their data as simple ascii 
numbers, like if the user had typed with the numeric keypad. Like you 
don't really access the scanner hardware, you just put a field, when 
the user uses the scanner, the scannner will send the numbers and the 
field will be filed. But please test this before beliving in my words, 
I don't really know if this is how they work, but I remember 
researching a little while ago, and seeing something like that. If 
indeed they work like this, then there's not a single problem when 
creating stacks...

PS: I just saw a USB barcode scanner like those "credit card" 
scanners...
